    Best Photographer for Every Occasion

    Kim was one of our first vendors we hired! From our first phone call I knew she was the right fit for us! She did everything for us including our engagement photos, boudoir shoot and wedding photos! She also helped me find my dream hair and makeup artist! She is a true girl's girl but is so relaxed but energized at the same time! She makes you feel confident and comfortable every time! I would recommend Kim for literally any event or occasion you have!

    Wonderful!

    Could not recommend her more. Kim went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we wanted from our photos. She even met me at the venue to do a walk through a few weeks before the wedding so we could scope out the best backdrops, etc. We had 2 shooters and they did a fantastic job with both posed and candid shots. The morning after the wedding, we woke up to an email from Kim with a "preview" of several photos from the day. Such a nice surprise! We also got our full album much faster than was promised in our contract. I'm obsessed with the photos, the only problem is narrowing them down. Thank you, Kim, for capturing our day so perfectly!

    Beautiful photos, savvy photographer

    We were so happy to have worked with Kim for our engagement and wedding photos. From the get go, Kim was incredibly responsive and professional. She traveled all the way down to Big Sur for our dream engagement shoot, and that was when we knew she would be amazing at the wedding! It ended up being a cold day in Big Sur and we only got about 15 minutes of shoot time before it started raining, and Kim was so collected and knew how to make it all work even in less than optimal weather. She was super flexible with timing on our wedding day, and made sure to get every last detail and requested photo. She is super efficient, fun to have around, makes taking natural photos so easy and of course produces amazing work. Based on other quotes I got back she is super reasonably priced for the area, and I believe she should be one of the most sought after wine country photographers. Book her while you can!!

    Kimberly exceeded our expectations beyond anything we could have imagined. When planning for our engagement shoot she helped me not only with both of our outfits, location and theme she also rented vintage rentals for us at no cost! On our wedding day it sprinkled a little and she without hesitation got into a pond to get "the dream shot", soaking wet and water up to her knees and she didn't complain once. Because she did this we got some of the most beautiful images Ive ever seen and Im so lucky I get to call them mine =) We just got our large canvas back for our dining room and it makes me smile every time I see it. I highly recommend Kimberly Macdonald Photography and her second shooter Allison

    Kim was amazing. From her personality, ability to make me feel and look beautiful in my images to the overall experience with her ! I had a very large, crazy Italian family members at my wedding who were basically hovering all over her back, practically breathing down her neck while she was trying to capture our images. She was so sweet about it and just kept calm and in control the whole time. Love Kim, highly recommend her!

    I just received my wedding album from my November wedding and could not be happier with the outcome! I was very nervous about our wedding images as much husband does not like taking photographs, we even opted for no engagement session even when Kimberly urged us to do so as he just would not do it. The day of the wedding Kimberly arrived 30 minutes early to walk us through the day and any last minute details she needed to know and go over the timeline with my MOH as she was handling the coordination. We opted for her lower package that did not come with a second shooter and by looking through my wedding images you would have no idea that only 1 photographer did the entire wedding. When I explained to her that my husband hates taking images and that our wedding day will actually be the first time we have had professionally pictures taken she assured me that candids always turn out the best and she will direct us on what to do, and thank god she did because otherwise wed be standing there stiff statues at prom. our pictures looked anything but stiff and we couldn't be happier with her service! she was much more than a photographer to me, she even gave her input on my wedding gown. I look forward to working with her in the future for family and maternity sessions!

    Oh where to begin with Kim! What a true treasure in the Sonoma photography business!! I heard about Kim through a mutual friend and was delighted to meet her and knew almost from the second I met her that it was going to be so fun to have her around! She is very professional and takes what she does very seriously and loves to be adventurous. My husband and I wanted to do our engagement photos at the dirt track we met and got engaged at. She took on this dirty daunting task of taking our pictures. Without knowing anything about racing or the track she got right in there and took magnificent pictures. She kept in contact with us throughout the year checking in and asking me ideas on what I wanted from my wedding pictures. It is hard not to create a friendship with Kim when working with her. She showed up on my wedding day with a second shooter and ready for action she took such amazing photos that matched our personality perfectly. We were able to get all the pictures on a USB, prints, a canvas, and even a special photo album. Words can't describe how amazing, caring, and creative Kim is. I will be using her for pregnancy photos, family photos, and so much more in the future!!

    Kimberly was wonderful and made everyone feel so comfortable! Our photographs turned out exactly how we wanted them to, very in the moment and personal. We would recommend her to everyone!

    Kim is the best choice for your wedding photography needs. Her easy going and fun personality can put anyone at ease which makes an already crazy hectic day, way more enjoyable. I was fully confident that all the pictures I wanted were captured and were also beautifully captured. Kim also provides sneak peeks a couple days after your wedding which makes the anticipated wait for all those gorgeous images much easier. Kim will always bend over backwards to accommodate a bride. I will use her for everything going forward!

    From my engagement photos to my wedding images I just loved not only my experience but my quality of images I received! She made me feel at such ease in front of her camera and kept reassuring me I was looking great and beautiful- words every woman wants to hear esp since loosing over 100+ pounds. My now husband hates taking photos but kimberly took the time and effort to make him at ease and actually enjoy all the photo taking a wedding involves! I received my album last month and loved it!!! Compared to the other sonoma county photographers I researched she was extremely priced fairly and great quality! I highly recimmend her!

    I wish I could give Kimberly 10 stars for quality and flexibility! She photographed my catholic church wedding in Santa Rosa, CA and then my reception at a local winery/wine cave in Sonoma. Less than a week before my wedding my ceremony time was changed to the very early morning instead of the original time of 330pm ceremony and dinner at 630pm. Her and I worked very hard on coming up with a timeline that worked for the both of us and would in return give the best image due to lighting conditions. I freaked out when I found out my church had an issue and was forcing us to get married at 10am. Unfortunately her second shooter she had planned was unable to switch times and it was too last minute to take on another second shooter so she shot solo, but the images would never tell this. She not only brought in extra equipment but she worked with the church before hand to provide canopies and founded shaded areas for us to keep the sun out of our eyes. On top of all this she came back to the reception location at 4pm to take additional images of us at sunset as she knew how badly I wanted those. I just received all my images back and could not be happier and told her I would be more than happy to write her a review!

    My wedding was at a private estate in Sonoma County, CA in the summer and I was searching for a photographer frantically as mine had cancelled due to a family illness 3 months prior to my wedding. I found Kimberly on Facebook through a mutual friend and we met up at her home and we immediately hit it off. I was surprised to find someone so young yet so put together. She walked me through a wedding day timeline, showed me some beautiful albums and other examples. I fell in love with her romantic images and booked her immediately. She was so responsive to all my needs via email and text and met with me twice to go over the venue. On the day of my wedding I felt like she was more my personal assistant than photographer, helping me with my train and fixing my hair constantly, even would insist I fix my makeup before taking such photos. She felt like a true friend. I received my wedding images within a month - I was shocked ! as many other friends of mine waited months for their wedding images. I was over the moon with my images and she really captured my special day from begining to end, perfectly. I was shocked to read the below reviews, there must be 2 Kimberly Macdonalds because she informed she works soley in the North Bay. I highly recommend her for your photos! Oh, I also decided to do 6 hours vs 8 hours of her service to save money as we were on a severe budget and I didn't feel like I missed anything from loosing those 2 hours. She worked with me very closely on my timeline to ensure nothing important would be missed.

    Kim showed up with her partner and gave off a very snobby vibe. I thought she seemed nice and professional but my husband did not like her at all. He had a rowdy bunch of groomsman and you could tell she was annoyed with them. At this point it's been OVER A YEAR since the wedding and I still have not received my photo album. It took about 2 months to get the pictures which I thought was too long but who knows i've only had a wedding photographer once right?? Anyways she claims she mailed my photo album, but by then I had moved (4 months post wedding). My old apartment said I never got anything when I went there and called to check. Anyways she claims sent me a replacement, and I never got it. I've messaged her on Facebook, left her Facebook comments, e-mails and she has replied twice saying that she is busy and will write me back. Finally she sent me a picture of the photo album and said she would send me the tracking info. That was over a month ago and she is still not answering any of my emails. I would NEVER recommend her, and honestly i'm a little pissed at the friend of my husband's who did recommend her. Not worth the stress. Pay more and get a professional!!
